“…Similar to the Netherlands, the USA has seen a steady growth in its cultural diversity over the last few decades. Moreover, multiculturalism has been met with significant backlash in both countries (e.g., Morrison, Plaut, & Ybarra, 2010;Yogeeswaran & Dasgupta, 2014a, 2014b. However, the American context is different from the Netherlands in other ways.…”

Increased cultural diversity has led to considerable debate on how to best promote intergroup harmony within pluralistic nations. In the current research, we consider the nature of interculturalism, a new diversity ideology extensively discussed by political philosophers and policy‐makers in Europe and beyond. Interculturalism consists of three interrelated components of dialogue, unity, and identity flexibility. Using data (N = 2,364) from three national surveys in two ethnically diverse nations (Netherlands and USA), we test a new measure of interculturalism and establish its independence from multiculturalism and assimilation. We then demonstrate that interculturalism predicts positive intergroup outcomes, over and above multiculturalism, and is in a theoretically meaningful way related to various criterion measures. Collectively, these studies establish the uniqueness of interculturalism from multiculturalism and demonstrate its promise for improving intergroup relations in culturally diverse nations.

“…Although our sample is not representative of the highly heterogeneous young adult population in Germany, our findings add to research underscoring the problematic nature of sweeping demands for ‘immigrant’ integration (e.g., Foroutan et al ., ) and the issues associated with an ethnic nationalist orientation in a diverse nation (e.g., Yogeeswaran & Dasgupta, ). Yet, it is important to note that the narratives examined here are specific to the given interview context – how participants construct and understand their own and societal narratives in other settings may vary considerably, depending on motivation, expectations, and numerous other factors (e.g., Baumeister & Newman, ).…”

Recent discursive research has built on Michael Billig's theory of banal nationalism, arguing that minoritized individuals who explicitly claim adherence to a national group may be further marginalized from a perceived majority who view such acts as socially undesirable. In Germany, a master narrative of muted national pride precludes hot nationalism, while a narrative of integration calls for overt national allegiance from anyone perceived as Other. Integration is demanded not only of recent immigrants, but also of the second generation and beyond, bolstering a related narrative of unquestioned Germanness as ethnically based. We conducted narrative analysis of interviews with white and Turkish German young adults to explore these master narratives, examining national identity through the lens of banal and hot nationalism. We found it is not only hot nationalism that marginalized Turkish German participants, but also the unrealizable narrative of integration. Situated within research into exclusionary notions of German identity, we argue that the integration demand reiterates the narrative of Germany as ethnically homogenous while fostering a feedback loop of contested belonging. With the recent increase in refugees and other immigrants, this critical examination of identity and belonging in Germany offers a timely and underexamined perspective to an important discussion.

“…Despite its contribution to the acculturation literature, Berry's strategy model does not take into account personal and structural characteristics of the groups (Rudmin, 2003 ;Schwartz, Unger, Zamboanga, & Szapocznik, 2010 ), for example, individuals' social and educational backgrounds (Cornelius, 2002 ;Steiner, 2009 ), age at the time of migration (Portes & Rumbaut, 2001 ), and socioeconomic status and resources in the context where acculturation takes place (Rohmann, Piontkowski, & van Randenborgh, 2008 ;Yogeeswaran & Dasgupta, 2014 ). With the aim of complementing Berry's model, the Interactive Acculturation Model (IAM; Bourhis et al, 1997 ) retheorised acculturation (see also Bourhis, Barrette, El-Geledi, & Schmidt, 2009 ) by focusing on the interactive nature of intergroup relations in the acculturation process.…”
